B 7sus4 Chord on Viola
Play B 7sus4 on Viola: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The B 7sus4 chord is a suspended dominant that replaces the third with a fourth or second over a seventh. It is built from the notes B, E, F#, A. This page shows how to play B 7sus4 on Viola with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the A string open and takes the rest in position 9, reaching across 3 positions. B falls on the C string. It sounds from B3 up to B4.
Viola is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on B or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
